I myself is a owner of a steed 5 d/c bakkie. to be true this is now the second bakkie i owned from gwm.
I can't see why should we buy other models while these bakkies is affordable and still have great features and reliabilities in it's drive train as well.
Look at the new up coming Steed 5 with the VGT engine with a six speed gearbox. Isn't it prove by now that gwm is on it's way to satisfy the public with more great specialties in the near future, and still with good prixes, you couldn’t buy any better.
Ya, it is true to say, here and there the chinese can make improment on performence and quility. But this will be a standard factor that will soon compare with the rest of the marked.
But still i'm a GWM fan, spesialy in the bakkie series and i am very proud to drive one, this bakkie's fuel consumption is between 10.5 and 11 km per liter, where can you get any pick up truck that can prove better then that?
In the meantime, anyone who will made bad comments on the GWM is one that have a GWM, or own one!

I have a 2013 Steed 5 Worhorse with 140,000km on the clock. Average cost per service is less than R2,000. When brakes was replaced it cost incl of the service R3,000. If after 5 years I get half the money back it will still be a bargain. For the price of a new GWM you will get a bakkie with almost 200,000k on the clock. I use my bakkie daily.

Hi! i own a 2016 double cab steed 5, 2.2 petrol in Namibia. the car has high revs and low power, steering shaft problem with a knock type noise- a piece from the steering shaft must always be replaced but you have to fight with the mechanics at the dealer because South Africa is apparently always scolding for accepting to replace it.even my petrol consumption is high. the car is just not worth buying for that price, especial through the bank.very low standards and its it's a loss. recently, oil is leaking on the engine block, aparently it is the seals that are worn out, in less then two years at 35000ks. i opted to buy 2 toyota bakkies for the business rather then four gwms.

Cant understand why you guys all have problems. I have a 2016 steed 5 2.2 the up model with all airbags etc. I have 115000km in almost 3 years, this bakkie runs at 185km/hr when i push it. and at 160 with a trailer. my consumption is about 10 ltr/100km. whicj i think is great. this poor bakkie only gets serviced every 30 000km as I dont have time for that and when I do service it and do the brakes it costs under R900, as all the parts are Toyota Hiace parts. Brakes are R110 for Ferrodo. and R1450 at the agents ( nuts) 10 minutes to do both sides. The 2.2 seems to be the best out there as what I have heared about the rest of the range it sucks. Happy motoring
